Chi State Pod: John Eskra

If you've long followed Chicago sports, it's nearly certain you've come across the work of a certain Chicago State alum. The 16th installment of the Chi State Pod features that alum, John Eskra, a 1985 Chicago State graduate and Executive Sports Producer of FOX Chicago.

Eskra attended Chicago State from 1982-85, majoring in Radio and Television Broadcasting. On 95th and King, Eskra cut his teeth in TV production, including working on the production crew during Chicago State men's basketball games.
  On the podcast, Eskra:

• Hearkens back to his Chicago State days, including his involvement with basketball broadcasts
• Details how he plunged into the television industry in Chicago
• Reflects on his time as Executive Sports Producer at FOX, including some of his favorite moments
• Tells us who his favorite football team is (hint: not the Bears)
